Альбом The Exit

I dont mind seein things
your pictures on the wall
i dont mind hearin things
like pacifers and all
I dont mind sittin up
waiting for your call
I dont mind kissing you
with evertything you put me through

(Chorus)
I tell you what I see
a faded memory
you inside and me outside again..
And if your so worthless
why do i keep coming back again? (2x)
I keep coming back for more

I dont know what to think
I think that this is wrong
I cant stand hearin things
like pacifers and all
I dont even care
that you've been around
I dont mind even you
with everything you put me through

(Chorus)

and ill tell you what is gettin me
startin to fell awful lonely
it heats me up inside
theres nothing left to try
ive been sittin up all night
withought you by my side
i just cant comprehend
being in love again

(Chorus 2x)

a lonely man smokes his last cigarette
as the cold breeze enters the bar
still afraid from what he is
there's only so much gin can fix
i've written pages in the book
big enough for chapters
the hurt won't leave when will it quit

i'm gonna throw it all away
so don't try and stop me
i'm not me

and as the hours pass on by
a lonely heart beats on in time
living's become only existing
and that's just what people do
get in the car and drive on home
eight years becomes a lifetime
i'm gonna take this car off the side

they found his wallet in the wreck
an ace of clubs and ninety cents
i don't want to tell the story of this tortured soul
but i see him every day
mirrors open up the room they say
i'm not me

there's a poor man sucking down his will to live
and there's a joe mo working on the late night shift
there's a road to get us on out of here
and there's a whole wide world for you to fear
so take in what they taught you
follow in their footsteps
the days aren't getting longer but your life is getting cut

sit and wait another day

there's a war going on in no man's land
and there's some things i don't understand
there's a father cruisin down the open road
and he ain't ever coming home
so wallow in the shadows of the one's who done it all

another feeling i can't fight i'm just trying to get the hell out of here
tomorrow's just another night the engine's broke and i've run out of steam
anotehr night when the silence clings on you i walk alone put a quarter on the track
tonight were gonna break on through tell me how to get out of this place

scream shout come on baby and let it out

abandoned stores and broken homes throwin rocks at broken windows
where i'll end up i'll never know feeling stuck feeling dead inside of me
and if i do will it be the same tryin hard to get the hell out of here
another town without a name tell me how to get out of this place

let it out

like a turtle on it's back
like a blind man walking the streets of new york
like a fire in a glass
my heart is wrapped up in a cellophane bag

i seperate the memories
i think of the things that i've done wrong
i throw them away to conceal the pain
it was one long night i've been beat down

trapped so deep i can't even breath
i scream an unanswered call
it's six forty-two in the a.m.

when the brustle meets the rush
as the blind man walks the streets of new york
as the fire turns to smoke
the lack of oxygen causes me to choke

i bet you can't live life like that

it don't sound so bad
don't mean that you can't understand
i want to be close to you
so what's that sound
the floor boards are cracking up
as i creep round your home
in places i should've known

find me wandering the streets again

it's time that you knew
it's time that we both knew
i'm seeking tou out
trying not to shout
a fly on the wall
dreams of flowers and phone calls
when will i win

find me wandering the streets again
lost alone wandering the streets again
i'm right back where i started out again
find me wandering

another day fades away

out of site and out of mind
happens every single time
and now i'm walkin all alone
watch my shadows shrink and grow
thinking of you thinking of me
and all the miles in between
one question i deserve
how long till it hurts

waiting how long till it hurts

here's my letter hope you like
i know the grammer ain't so right
and what i mean may not get through
like the way it is when i'm with you
waiting for you waiting for me
the hours in between
one question i deserve
how long till it hurts

still waiting
i've been knocked down before
i'll be knocked down again

and when i'm free
ain't never gonna be the same no how no way
when the day comes i'm gonna live for no one else
except myself
and i know if ever i've been taught
you cannot start to run before you walk
and i know this time i'm going it alone

down in the street
everybody on the come and go
they punch out and march on home
just stuck in line
i never want to lead that life
or give the time
there's something going on out there
somewhere out there anywhere but here
so let em know i'm never comin home again

i just started out
and when i'm free

defacto segregation
seperates the nation
it won't bring me down
no they won't bring me down
they got fourty one bombs on dynamite hill
where they aim to shoot
shoot to kill
they will not bring me down
no they won't bring me down
back when the bean town lost the beat
a southern mentality
somewhere out there somewhere usa
i don't mind what i read today
kick it out the back door
look at your usa

in this urban jungle
life seems so scarce
caution: hot danger sign buyer beware
there's a billboard on the skyscraper
place your ad here

do you think it's all right
is this all they had planned
do you think it's all right
what about the people's demands

there's a protest down on seventy-first street
outraged about their canceled health care policies
the glass ceiling on the social well-being
had left its mark on our plutocracy

i wasn't much just a face in the hall that's all that i could ever be
my mother said if she could she'd have known me but i got these kids to feed
someone said to love what you got and always know there will be more

i dont know i dont care

i stay up looking at old photos another late night company
i see one of me and you there i wonder if i'm more complete
who am i to love what i lost who am i to care at all

i take walks to forget about my life i take walks that last all night
i check myself out in store front windows half drunk and half insane
it's just smoke that gets in my eyes it's just smoke that makes them red

hey father father where you been for me
a check and a letter sent to set my mind at ease

i don't know you
i don't owe you nothing
